@Ted S posted:@MartyE and others... You don't need to make apologies for the Pullmor motors or lack of speed control. Everyone should watch closely at 7:19 to about 7:22 of your video. It does a lot to explain why I like Lionel's Pullmor motors and back-driveable gearing. It's not about going around the layout at a constant five scale mph (although I'm pretty sure your GE demonstrator could have run slower than you were running it in the video.) The initial movement between zero and 3 scale mph is just as important, if not more important to the illusion of realism. For you physics nerds, I refer to these as "precious moments." Surging from zero to 4 or 5 scale MPH (about when the speed control circuitry catches up) pops that bubble every time!
Actually I was surprised how smoothly it started out. Yes they can be some smooth starters and runners once the stall voltage is set and you tweak your own mindset on the differences of a Legacy engine and a Pullmor equipped TMCC. If the Pullmor is well maintained it can definitely compete on the low end speed scale.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
